You do not have to wait long for the Hordim find you. Without warning two Hresh warriors jump from the brush to your right and begin shouting wildly. Pallenten rears up and lashes out with her hooves but the Hordim are too quick, one grabbing her reins as the other pushes her heavily from the side. Overbalanced by the force of the assault she topples sideways onto the riverbank. Rolling from her back you pull your sword and stand your ground. Pallenten staggers upright, fighting to gain a firm footing whilst one of the Hresh hangs precariously from her neck. As you stand there confronting the remaining warrior Pallenten disappears into the brush, wildly trying to dislodge the Hordim as it tries to grasp a knife at its belt.

You will have to fight this Hresh. The warrior has a combat value of 15 and an endurance of 14. Unfortunately the force of the assualt has left you with a jarred shoulder and as a consequence for the duration of this combat your combat value must be reduced by 2 points. If you win this fight turn to section 280. If it is the Hordim that prevails then it is here that your quest ends.
